Why do we let society's least educated/intelligent people (i.e. homeopaths

etc.) interfere in people's health? It's bizarre.
But intelligent people usually have better career options.

In which other career could you earn what a quack earns with such little education, effort, knowledge or training?

Even beauticians and flower arrangers need government-approved professional qualifications nowadays.
Lightnin :
The negative effects homeopaths have include delaying treatment, not recognising illness, denigrating vaccines, scamming money out of the gullible etc. - not the actual potions, which as you correctly point out are just water.

If homeopaths did no harm I wouldn't be too worried about them.

Unfortunately, because the vast majority of quacks have not been trained
*to understand how the body works
*to understand how disease progresses,
*to understand how vaccines work
or
*to understand how chemicals affect the body,
we are left with this dangerous situation of very poorly educated people (at best) interfering in vulnerable patients' health.
